another toe/camber question

well guys I know this topic has been discussed to death but I still need a little more clarity. I saw a similar post before but cant seem to find it again so sorry if its a repeat. I'm currently running HR springs in the rear and Eibach springs in the front of my coupe. Tire wear seems to be even in the front so far but toe/camber is clearly off in the rear. (50% tread left on outer sides, bascially bald on insides)

My question is...

Instead of purchasing the SPC camber arm/toe kit like I was planning to do, would it make more sense to just get the toe kit instead? According to this -http://www.enjukuracing.com/products/spc-performance-camber-bolts-nissan-370z-g37-g35-sedan.html, purchasing the toe kit alone will give me:
Rear Camber Adjustability: +/-3.0 Degrees
Rear Toe Adjustability: +/-3.0 Degrees

which is really all I need because its not a huge drop. I dont have the exact specs of my suspension but a few degrees for the camber/toe should do the job unless I am missing something. Or should I just stop being a cheap bastard and buy the kit as a whole with the arms?

Thanks in advance

To get the best results the whole kit is recommended since toe & camber are interrelated, your camber arm is maxed out now and the new toe bolt will give more room for the toe adjustment but camber will still need help. It should be an improvement w/ just the new toe bolt but hard to say if you'll still have excess camber, I'm thinking you will. The rear kit is pretty cheap compared to the front so I'd just pony up for the arm & bolt set.

Thanks tho

If I understand suspension correctly, toe is directly related to camber. Adjusting camber will help with toe but if you need to pick one then get toe kit because toe will kill your tires while camber you are able to flip

Yes, if you have to select one parameter to be out of spec it would be camber over toe.
